A NOBLE DEFENSE
OF the Noble-hearted Prohibition
Women.

That man who has lived to the
voting age has lived to little pur-
pose who has failed to see the per-
nicious effect of intemperancs on
all classes of people, and that 1t is
baneful to good government and
detrimental to all that makes life
worth the living; and that, like the
great boa constructor, the liquor
traffic is coiling itself around this
nation, crushing in its deadly folds
the vitals of the whole body polite,
and unless killed by legislative en-
actments will soon or late swallow
the Republic in the vortex of an.
archy and ruin.
And that man who has lived to
the voting age, has lived to less
purpose as humanitarian who has
failed to see that womanhood are
the greatest sufferers, as the results
of the liquor traffic, and always viii
be as long at it is suffered by law to
exist.
Then, if there were no other
cause for its suppression than the
interest of women, it is a shame
and disgrace to every branch of our
government, national, State, county
or municipal, to tolerate the traffic
any longer than they can rid them
selves of the curse by lawful means,
Therefore, it is no wonder that
the good women of this State, mani.

the late campaign. No wonder they

claimed, throughout the late cam
paign, to be acting upon a nom
partisan basis.
They will, probably, edvocate
Local Option with the High License
feature, or, indeed, almost anything
to keep their party out of trouble.
They will claim, as usual, to be ar
dent supporters of prohibition, and
excite the fears OF the tinid ones
by endeavoring to show that all
will be lost by attempting too much
at once. Their arguments will be
cunningly devised, and will seem
plausible, but beware of them. Be-
ware of any one who puts party
above principle, and who is con-
stantly avOwing his loyalty to par
ty.
Let the true temperance men,
bers of the Alliance boldly and
firmly insist upon Prohibition By
Statute, and prepare, at once, to
enter upon campaign which is to
result in the election of Legisla-
ture that will carry this purpose
into effect, and it will be accom-
plished. The genuine temperance
people of the State will support
this policy; and as the "balance of
power" rests with these, who can be
counted by tens of thousands, and
who are not party-bound, we have
only to resolve and to stand firmly
by the resolution and men true to
the cause of prohibition will be
elected to the Legislature, and the
good work will be accomplished.
If we make this attempt and fail
it can be no worse for US. Our very
effort will cause even partisan poll
ticians to become willing to give US
almost any legislation that might
be asked by way Of compromise.
1t may be said that the liquor men
will use money to defeat the at
tempt to carry this measure. 1t
may be remembered that the mem.
bers Of the Liquor Protective Asso-
ci tion were requested to pay their
dues for the present year and for a
year in advance just before the late
eleetion. Every effort made by
prohibitionists to suppress their
drunkard-making business, will he
met by the n ost abominable cor.
rupting influences that they can
bring to bear; but bribery and
fraud will become costly means OF
promoting a bad cause, and thus
will their "sinews of war" be weak
ened. Should these considerations
deter us from action? Away WITH
such false temporizing.
Let US present q solid ront and
make q general assault upon thu
enemy's works all along the line.

PROHIBITION.
Probable Policies to be Presented
to the Coming Convention.
BY PROF. w. P. HASTINGS.

bI fhOFs W. e hAS11NUSs
It is we'll in matters pertaining
to good government to proceed, in
any action taken, with well-matur-
ed plans. BY such careful fore
thought, the object to be accom-
plished being a worthy one, polite
measures become effective and per-
manent.
The State Temperance Alliance,
which is to meet on the 9th and
10th inst, must agree upon some
policy for future operations. OF
course, the ultimate object is to OBJ
tain the result sought in supporting
the proposed Amendment"-the
complete suppression of the traffic
in alcoholic liquors as a beverage.
This Convention of the State AL
lance will be comprised, as is usual
under such circumstances, of those
holding to van iOus opinions and
actuated by different motives. OF
course, the professional politician
will be on hands, hut it is to be
hoped that few of this class will be
present. The first thought with
these leeches upon the body polite
is for self; and the second consider.
alton is for the safety of the party
through whose manipulations they
expect to obtain political prefer
ment. They will have a follow ing

As il was, however, Brownie refused TO be
comforted for q whole twelvemonth. That
was long time.

about her sister. She tried in ell loving,
lively ways to change her thought She filed
in the evenings with gay company and kept
the girl out In the sunshine by day. She in

So the summer wore on into the fall, quite

Indian princess and necklaced to match.
With all these, too, such vivid, flashing,
quick moving creature was Brownie, she did
not look overdone.
This afternoon it suited her fancy to rig
herself out in heather splendr. Besides
rings, bracelets and neck pin, she wore the
pretty watch and chain Shirley had given
her at her eighteenth birthday. She had on
q crimson dress. What with her bright dress,
the shining bits of gold and stone about her,
and the sunshine glancing on and off her as
she moved along the woodland path, she
looked like a red bird flashing among the

Could she help, indeed, wandering on beyond

had placed his mothers ring upon her finger
and asked her to wear it always9 The ring
was there still The turquoise triae itself

till she felt its pressure on her finger. She
could have cried as she thought of it. Too
bad, too bad it was!
A wild man started up before her. He was
hungry, he was mad with rage against the
world. He was wicked He was fit for deeds
of terror There was Lucifer like grace
and comeliness about him, too, as he flung
himself across tho way with his swinging
arms and cleaning eyes. He stood in front
of the girl. His glance roved over her in
silence. Her heart beat heavy and fast
Her striking, fantastic prettness, the jewels
about her, aroused the evil in the man yet
more.
He was a tall, powerful man. She was
wholly at his mercy.
"How do you do, Ripp said she family
His eyes glowed with devilish glee.

He mingled freely in the green tea and
lemonade dissipations Of the country side.
He partook Of the mild refreshments and
amuscments that were the proper thing. At
all these scenes Of strictly moral gayety he
was the hero. He carried Off the honors in a
lazy, half cynical way that made him the
adored of yourg ladies, the envied Of young
men. .Everywhere he wore the same air Of
holding himself little apart from the rest, Of
being absent minded and slightly bored.
This air succeeded to q charm. It Is to be
recommended to young men and maidens
seeking to make an impression.
At an autumn picnic in the woods he
seemed more than Usually Indifferent. He
leaned idly against tree with his feet crossed,
his head thrown back, his eyes gazing widely
off into the nowhere. It made not bad
